I imagine he's happy with:
1. Gaudreau
2. Tkachuk
3. Lindholm
4. Mangiapane
5. Coleman
6. Lucic
Has scratched and made explicit comments about Ruzicka and Dube, and Richardson and Ritchie have been scratched for a while, so they are all automatically in the dog house.
That leaves Toffoli, Monahan, Backlund, and Lewis. He has made several comments this season that Backlund needs to be better, or that he needs to continue to produce. He has made consistently positive comments on Lewis' performance. Of the two remaining, he hasn't made many public comments about their recent on-ice performance, but it's tough to imagine a coach would be picking Monahan over Toffoli.
